The delivery location was again a massive building on the academy outskirts, designed like others to receive and process materials but this was the one specifically for the three best schools during gathering exams.
Long rows of tables where evaluators reviewed, weighed, classified, and valued each delivered material.
By the third day the place would be full of overlapping conversations, crystals clinking, and beasts unloading backpacks like a chaotic but organized market.
For Ren's team, this was their first time experiencing what happened when you were on Ren's team.
But for Ren, this wasn't new at all.
It was the same dilemma as last time.
So...
Ren scanned the place with experienced eyes, ignoring most of the tables. Instead, he headed directly toward the back, where a particular table was located in a quieter corner.
Away from the main flow of traffic. Where evaluators who he already knew could handle unusual materials or enormous quantities without losing their minds.
